"Water is Life" film features music perfomed by Cyro

Cyro recorded original compositions by the amazing Aya Nishina for a film being shown at the California Academy of Sciences. The film focuses on the importance of water to our planet.

The Water Planet exhibit is designed to be infinitely flexible. Dozens of tanks, from five to 5,000 gallons in size, contain an ever-changing variety of fish, reptiles, amphibians, insects, and other invertebrates. Once an hour, the lights go down inside the tanks, the room transforms into a 360-degree projection theater, and visitors are immersed in a five-minute film about the most precious resource on the planet: water.
